Intro to Digital Marketing

The Introduction to Digital Marketing module explains key concepts in digital marketing and gives you an overview of the BSM Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing. You will learn how different channels can be used together to create a winning and cost-effective digital marketing campaign.

Digital Marketing, often referred to as Online Marketing, Internet Marketing or Web Marketing, means marketing activity carried out online, as opposed to the more familiar traditional marketing using print media, live promotions and advertising on TV and radio.
